To be fair, I think Caltrain went the most sensible route. Electrify their network and switch to EMUs - nothing better than EMUs for commuter trains.
It‘s all about costs, I guess. Getting F40s (especially if pre-owned though I believe Caltrain had ordered new ones) was probably a lot cheaper...
Thus far, I‘ve driven different versions of the Br 140 and 150, which I believe do have HD cabs (please correct me if I‘m wrong). Doesn‘t change...
Yet there are the Caltrain drivers who according to DTG‘s survey team just slam the throttle in run 8 to start at a station :D
I just got Zusi 3 for my potato laptop (I‘m a console player) since a key selling website had it on sale for 40€. My first impressions are mixed....
Nope, don‘t think there‘s any German train with an airflow meter. However, a pretty good indicator on the 363 is the compressor. Once you hear...
Did you actually wait long enough for the brakes to come off? As I said before, pumping up the brake pipe is a lot of work for the 363 and it can...
Isn't that just a known bug on the Class 47?
Let‘s hope DTG have the vision to let TSG continue to work as is. The quality speaks for itself. Besides, the 232 is for RSN and not either for...
I wouldn‘t expect anything in the next months - at least not before the Br 420 is out. Maik Goltz‘s original plan was G6 in August/September 2021,...
Ah, that‘s possible. Didn‘t check that.
I'm not entirely sure about that. I was just looking through the real manual on GNT and found these two passages interesting: [ATTACH] (page 21...
Good call. In a different thread, we recently hooked up another forum user (who may or may not be the reason for the freight improvements on...
It allows tilting trains to travel faster through curves. To this end, it overrides PZB magnets if necessary and monitors your speed continuously...
What I always have to think of with the request for darker nights is Clinchfield. Due to the frequent switching and horrendous headlights, the...
Oh, sorry. Just saw the thumbnail of the video and made (wrong) assumptions. In hindsight, should have been obvious the way you phrased it :)
What I found interesting is that Matt said the team have started looking into EBuLa and what is required to make it work. Obviously, nothing is...
I‘m not familiar with the real route, but if 612s ran RE3s, then I hope for a timetable update close to release like the meatier (freight)...
Matt never used the headlights. He only had the white marker lights on.
Seems like it is based on cab rides I saw. I‘ll have to drive the 185.5 again to compare. I have to admit that I wasn‘t paying much attention to...
Has to one way or another since I doubt DB Fernverkehr owns any shunters.
Not on the German ones as far as I‘m aware. In German, I‘ve seen Füllen (fill - as in fill the brake pipe) and Angleichen (matching - called that...
More like a seizure warning for the German speakers familiar with PZB :D
Happy to be of service, chieflongshin :D The 363 is a fantastic bit of DLC, hope you get to fully enjoy it now!
Exactly. In my opinion, what we need is a better (logarithmic) scale for the analogue stick input and preferably and lower sensitivity while in zoom.
Indeed. Just stay away from the release notch of the train brake at all times and your issue should never occur again. Do be aware though that...
By coupling to the cars with almost 6 bar brake pipe pressure (when the cars have brakes applied), you‘re setting a much higher release presssure....
Exactly. That‘s what I was trying to tell you above. Put in running which releases the brakes. The release notch is for releasing stuck brakes via...
Are you sure this is an actual rule? From what Matt said in that thread, it seems he's basing the "all trains in U" on the fact that the trains...
Possibly. I admit I didn't check when I wrote this. Point is, R brakes are for running passenger trains at 160 km/h.
Ok, one thing: For the first stop, you used the train brake. May I ask why? You'd use the independent brake with a light loco in real life. This...
I have to admit that I get a bit annoyed when Nat continuously claims on stream that it was fixed. It clearly isn't like anyone with a PS5 can...
I'll just pick up what OpenMinded left for me :D Indeed. The R stands for Rapid-Bremse (literally rapid brake) and does some shenanigans to...
I‘m certain OpenMinded will be able to help you out a lot more than me, but I‘ll add my 2 cents. Essentially, all you need to do is this: Check...
Those tables are extremely useful. Thanks for sharing :)
I haven‘t watched the entire video (skipped through to parts where I could see the gauges do interesting things) and have 2 comments. You didn‘t...
And Sam already answered as well:
See Nat‘s replies on this matter:
That‘s indeed the HoTD as described above.
Ah, that clears some things up. While switching, it doesn‘t really matter that much what loco you‘re in. Preferably, sit in the loco closer to the...
That‘s your problem right here. Don‘t put the train brake into release, but in running. The release position (as with UK locos) overcharges the...
You should be in the loco at the front or in other words the one with the cab pointing in the direction you‘re going. You assume correctly....
Welcome to the forums, Underbreadbore :D I'll start with the brakes by quoting a rough guide I wrote a few days or weeks ago: Auto brake...
In real life, real humans take care of dispatching - that's the difference. There's a reason real railroads still use humans for dispatching and...
That‘s because of their different roots. TSW was always and still is a commercial product for entertainment purposes. Zusi is an off-shoot version...
Well done and I‘m glad my suggestion was of use to you. Be aware that there are quite a few signaling and PZB issues/inaccuracies on RT if/when...
Exactly. I did manage to use them in a 185 once (although they aren‘t really useful for the reason you already mentioned) but I did not manage to...
Don‘t quite understand what‘s going on on your end. Brake pipe pressure of 5 bar means the brakes are released under normal circumstances. Some...
I have to admit that I agree, at least to some degree. At one point, both Nat and Matt said that there was a section dedicated to Xbox and PS...
The Hilfssteuerung does work, yes. But the OP was talking about what TSW calls the auxiliary shunting controls - the ones located on the wall near...
